I think Trump was the answer. To what? To everything. To intersectionalism and outrage culture. To the deepstate and swamp. To globalists selling out the West. To communists and other authoritarians.
Divine? Still an atheist, so i can't take it that far. But i do feel like we are at a critical moment in humanity, and if we let the far left win, humanity will be lost to a technocratic authoritarian state built on political correctness.
I admit Trump is a nearly perfect fit for the times. But that may just be a given, cause and effect. I can only hope 2020 is a massive landslide for him that wakes people up and forces us to remember the grand ideals this nation was built upon.
Let's say he helped in the theft of his 'gold toilet' stolen awhile ago. He needs to get paid.
Thieves buy his bananas for 120k each.
Or, forget the theft, let's just say it is pure drug money. Drug dealers buy bananas for 120k each. The dirty drug money is now the artist's clean money. To get it back to the thieves, they use similar techniques to get the money back to the dealers.
These are just over simplified examples. Money launderers generally have fairly complex setups. It's all about having the money go through one or several legit businesses sales [the more there are the harder to track]. You might only end up with 50c on the dollar of clean money, but it's clean money.
I come from a similar background, and think i can explain it. He desperately wants the dreams of the left, but understands they can't possibly work [ie, universal health care]. Instead of simply shedding the bad ideas, he clings desperately to them because it's part of how he identified his entire youth/20s. He wants to find some sort of compromise to get halfway there.
I can definitely relate. It took me awhile to work certain utopian ideas out of my system. Not Tim Pool slow, but definitely took time, because it's part of your political identity, it's how your friends think, etc.
Over 40, long time borderline anarchist/minarchist and atheist. Ron Paul spoke to me with his liberty minded values [liberty being the basis for my desire for small government in the first place], making me rethink the right I had grown up with. Trump stood up to the authoritarian left when they became infested by intersectionalist dogma.
My younger self thought the 1st Amendment would never come under serious attack in America, and if it did, it would come from the religious right. The left proved me wrong.
Trump [and the left] made me reevaluate the importance of our Constitution and Bill of Rights. I'm ever thankful he won. The left can not be allowed to take control while they are this radicalized. They have no love of liberty, they demand power and have surrendered to their authoritarian impulses both socially and economically.
Gone now?
